S’Mores Krispy Treats

Growing up, we made Rice Krispy treats a few times (over the course of my childhood, not in the same year). It wasn’t that it was hard to make, per se. It just isn’t very healthy to eat, so we only made it on “special occasions”. I knew they weren’t healthy for me, but I never realized just how unhealthy they are until I tried making my own.

I didn’t try to make it when I had my own house, because I didn’t realize how much I love this dessert, since I only had a vague recollection of their taste. Then one day I was at a hotel, and they had them as the free dessert. I ate one piece, then another one (I might have taken once back to my room to consume the next day too)…

When I got home, I knew that I wanted to make more of this delicious treat. I looked in my cupboards and saw that I had graham crackers that I needed to use quickly. I’ve never been a big S’mores person and wasn’t really sure what other recipes use graham crackers. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate S’mores, I just don’t love it as much as other people do. I wasn’t going to sit in the backyard and make a bunch of S’mores.

I decided to try to add the graham crackers and chocolate to the Rice Krispy treats. They already have marshmallows in them anyway. This was a great idea, since the result was an amazing dessert!
